Abstract
A system for providing six-dimensional position data of an object in a three-dimensional (3D) space, the system including a light source configured to emit a light beam in an x-direction, a mirror including a mirror plane disposed in an x-y plane and a beam splitter configured for reflecting the light beam from the light source onto the mirror before being directed to the object, the light beam reflected by the object onto the beam splitter before being directed through a lens to an image plane to form an image.
